GIFT SHOP IN THE MUSEUM
Our Gift Shop will feature products of historic materials, Indigenous authored books and materials along with emerging artists all over Turtle Island for all walks to enjoy.
Emerging artists are encouraged to contact us. We are always looking for new talent to showcase in our gallery. Our gallery strives to provide a platform for up-and-coming artists to gain exposure and connect with art enthusiasts. Feel free to reach out to us with samples of your work and a brief bio to be considered for representation. We will consider selling your authentic native items on a consignment basis inside our Giiwedinong Museum Gift Shop.
Our Artists Spring, Summer and Fall Program
This spring and summer in 2024, starting in May, we are planning to host special events outside on our property that will open for native vending spots in 10x10 approximate areas of our property for native artists to sell their artwork or artisan products. This is a great opportunity for native artists to showcase your work to a larger audience and connect with potential customers.
It's a chance to be part of a vibrant community and share your culture through your art.
Native artists, please contact Sarah LittleRedfeather for consideration at littleredfeather@giiwedinong.org, and an application will be sent to you.
Please be aware that before making a decision, our team will review all submissions. Thank you for considering us as a potential outlet for your art.
Available days are Thursday, Friday, and Saturday during Giiwedinong’s public hours, during events, and by invitation only.
We ask for a small donation fee of $50 per day, which is asked but not required.
The vendor will need to provide their own equipment, tables, and canopies, depending on the event. There are no electric services or wifi at this time.
The event coordinator or director will provide further information on set-up and break-down procedures.
